Hi Jatin/people i have a doubt , in this E-Commerce Draft Bill, How is the consumer is affected in the long run, he is getting goods for discounted price, he can buy some other good in case of discounts, and sellers also have bulk orders, and i do understand the concerns of MSME and Sellers aswell because of inventory model, but How is consumer affected with the Discount in long run ??????????

as this MNCs are buying stakes in domestic firms over the time domestic industries will be uprooted and then there will be monopoly of this foreign companies. That time whatevr price this company will decide the consumer will have to give it ...as today if u find price on amazon a bit high then u check on other place like snapdeal etc but that time u wont have other options than this MNCs

Tannk you so much :) and one additional Point ( GREAT POWER COMES WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITY ) The e commerce growth has led to job creation productivity improvement and increase online presense of consumers
To Benefit from these opportunities it is essential to be responsive to the underlying challenges, There is thus the need for clearly laid dow rules of E-Commerce in the country
yes many jobs will be created if this industry grow , but one threat here is if any uncertanity happens in future then it is a matter of Huge unemployment in the country

Ecommerce in India may become a diplomatic battleground. American giants Amazon and
Walmart feel the draft ecommerce policy is "heavily tilted" against foreign firms and are
likely to ask the United States government to reach out to Indian policymakers in case the
final policy is "not moderated".
Fallout for India-U.S. Relations: There will be plenty of government-to-government talks
on this issue.
Amazon has pledged to invest about S5 billion into India and Walmart in May agreed to
acquire controlling 77% stake in Amazon's local rival Flipkart for $16 billion.
Both US headquartered giants see India as a top future market. Amazon and Flipkart together
account for over 70% of India's ecommerce market.

US President Donald Trump's decision to grant India the STA-1 trading status equivalent to
American allies for procurement of military weapons is a big rebuff to China for blocking
India's entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
ph Key Condition diluted: In making this call, the US President has relaxed a key condition set by
hethe Obama Administration that India would be eligible only after it had secured the membership
of all four technology control regimes- the NSG, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the
Wassenaar Arrangement and the Australia Group.

After an unsuccessful attempt at securing NSG membership in the last few months of the Obama
Administration, India had asked US to reconsider its conditions.
New Delhi's case was that by blocking India's case at NSG, Beijing had also put on hold
Indo-US cooperation on co-production of defence equipment as well as bilateral transfer of
high-end technology. The STA-1 will make this easier.

There are two US arms control lists:
at th
One, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) list, which comes under the State
Department.
The other is the Export Administration Regulation (EAR) list controlled by the Commerce
Department.
Background: In 2013, the Obama administration moved a bunch of sensitive items from the ITAR
to EAR list.
The EAR was then recast to make military commerce easier. In this rejig, India fell in the
category of Strategic Trade Authorisation (STA)-2 while America's closest allies were placed in
STA-1
The licensing requirements are qualitatively different in these two categories, which is where the
challenge lay in steering the India case forward.
India was not an ally and wasn't going to define itself as one either. So, a decision was made in the
dying days of the Obama Administration to give India Major Defence Partner (MDP) status. But
for it to have full effect, the EAR had to be amended to insert MDP category in STA 1.
emt
.The US Congress simultaneously passed a legislation ascribing the MDP description in law. This
was not really needed as all this is within the US administration's remit. Officials would like to call
this a parallel process that just converged in the end. a^z

Process of Rajya Sabha election:
-In the Rajya Sabha polls, a winning candidate should get a required number of votes calculated
through a formula.
-The total number of votes are divided by the number of seats going to the polls from the State, adding one
vote to the number. To this whole, a value of one vote is again added.
The polls are held by means of a single, transferable vote, and the candidates reaching the requisite
number are declared elected.
If a candidate from a party exercises the NOTA option, the total votes will go down and this will bring
down the number required to win.
This can benefit a candidate from another party, in case MLAs from that party vote for their official
candidate, neither abstaining nor exercising the NOTA option.
